Monmouth Avenue

Monmouth Avenue is an avenue in Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey, stretching from the Stone Church intersection to the east (where it divides into the Navesink Avenue and Hartshorne Road) and to the Windmill Acres Farms crossroads to the west (where it crosses with Portland and becomes Kings Highway). Fora week following the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, the main British army under Henry Clinton spread its encampment on both sides of the road while awaiting transport from Sandy Hook, embarking for New York City on 5 July.
